Key Benefits of Equiloan
Equiloan is a flexible and affordable loan product offered by Equity Bank, designed especially for salaried individuals whose employers have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the bank under a check-off repayment agreement. Here’s what makes it an attractive option:
- You can borrow any amount starting from KES 30,000 up to a maximum of KES 5 million.
- The amount you qualify for is determined by your ability to repay, based on your income and other financial obligations.
- The loan offers a long repayment period of up to 6 years, making it easier to manage your finances over time.
- Repayments are automatically deducted either directly from your salary (check-off system) or from your bank account once your salary is deposited, offering convenience and minimizing the risk of missed payments.
- This facility comes with preferential terms, provided your employer has an existing MOU with Equity Bank.
